This video of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Gen. George S. Patton, and others, includes a five star jeep with a rear extension and other mods. There’s also some graphic and grim footage as the men explore a former camp. This video was shared on Facebook a few days ago on the G503 page.

At the 18 second mark is a photo of the fronts of several jeeps, underscoring that multiple jeeps had been modified. At the 2:28 mark is a front look at two jeeps. For the next twenty seconds the video shows the jeeps driving away.

Ron shared this video of a trip on the road to Calovebora in Panama. It’s certainly an off-road adventure.

This 1952 Video by Warner Pathe News follows the M-38 and Diamond Reo M-34 underwater. After these tests, you’d expect Willys would have sold Willys Scuba Gear.
